#iConference
At this week's #D&Iconference, I met someone who told me the #3wishesprogram didn't last beyond a pilot at her hospital bc they felt there wasn't enough efficacy data. At a diff conference last year, I was asked why I was doing this research, bc isn't it obvious that acts of kindness are kind?
Sigh.

My paper on undergraduate student perceptions of AI's influence on their future careers has been accepted to the 2025 iConference. Spoiler: Students see AI as inevitable, in their future careers but no match to their skills. I hope to see you in Bloomington, Indiana. www.ischools.org/iconference

Yesterday, I gave the welcome address as co-chair of the 2026 iConference, hosted by @edinburghnapier.bsky.social

I've not found my bsky groove yet, so I'm going to use the conference to fix that.

5 days until the on-site programme starts! I hope to see you there.

We have Grimmer, Jessica and Akau, Stephanie from Maryland and LC with us to talk about Preserving Composer's Process in the Digital Age. They're starting with an explanation of music and composition because they joke that this isn't a music conference

weird accomplishments:

+ second ever games research paper was nominated for the best paper award at iConference 2020/19 (we didn't win but still cool!)

+ best baker in the family

+ got a full ride from one of the most competitive STEM scholarships in the USA (at the time)

+ Briefly met RDC
weird accomplishments:

there is a pretty bad 600+ page novel whose existence is directly my fault. it has 4.5 stars on amazon.

I (with the team I was on) could have easily made Riot a couple hundred million dollars, conservatively

I own a one of a kind couture piece that is monetarily worthless
Weird accomplishments;

I have an official My Little Pony based on me

Deadpool uses my name in the first two movies and spoke at length about Women In Refrigerators

I turned down Gene Simmons, Paris Hilton and Bacardi.

My name was officially made into Babs Gordon’s middle name.

More to come!

I have to do a self-transfer for my trip to Edinburgh for the iConference so I ended with about 10 hours to kill in Dublin (arrive Satuday at 09:30, leave at 20:00). Anyone have suggestions for what I should do?

(ironically this is the second time I've been to Dublin, also during a long layover)
